Reminds me of when 4chan pretended to be Hacker News.

Snapchat for your production data.
I don't doubt there are interesting discussions to be had there (it is filled with nerds after all) but the userbase is very clear about who is welcome there.
They're also virulently antisemitic.
The culture of 4chan is also self-deprecating, why don't you rise up against that too and say that it's bullying against young un-successful males that can't get girls to stand within 10m distance of them?
When I read the history of 4chan[0] years ago, this story in particular stuck out to me (as being hilarious).
>February 21 - Two discussion boards are added, hosted on 0ch: /amh/ (Anime-Manga-Hentai) and /bbs/ (4chan Discussion). The next day, Censored Vagina makes a newspost announcing that the cost of running 4chan for the rest of 2004 added up to $2,200 and that the money would be needed in donations. The links on 4chan are reflected to link to 4chan.org instead of 4chan.net so that users will not need to write 4chan.org's IP into their hosts file.
>March 1 - moot announces that the site will not be able to continue because the March server bill is too large to pay and that more donations will be required to pay it or 4chan will die. He makes one final request for donations and hopes for the best. According to a news post image about the original /q/, /q/ - Questions was added this day.
>March 8 - After a week-long swarm of donations, moot announces that not only does he have enough money to pay the March bill, but that enough money was donated to keep the site running into 2005. moot thanks all donators and posters and announces that he is currently in "Cancun, Mexico".

Prescient.
They're belligerently racist to keep non-racists away? If so, why not just say they're racist and leave it at that?

That page is actually pretty funny here and there.
I just came from the “EFF writes a letter to Tim Cook about CSAM” article. I guess we’ve confirmed the parody.
I mean...
